Have a Little God with your Tea

What’s the significance of this wire photo from Missouri? Well, it’s the first wire photo I’ve seen of a Tea Party rally integrated with (or, maybe co-opted by) Christian Conservatives.

But then, if the Religious Right does assert itself into the “movement,” does it make for stronger Tea or weaker Tea? And, does this it spell the fall of the “secular right,”or, is there even such thing?

The Missouri Republican Party and a tea party group called the Macon County Patriots planned the protest Tuesday evening down the road from Poet Biorefining in Macon, with other groups also taking part.)
